His owner Gillian Singleton believed he was stolen for breeding purposes. She said her happy, beautifully groomed dog had been playing in the garden one minute and he was gone the next minute. Her children David aged 9 and Emily aged 6 were devastated following the disappearance of their dog and the family immediately launched a full-scale search for him. But despite a countywide search, and contacting animal shelters and dog wardens, Arnie was nowhere to be found. During the search the family found another stray dog named Lucky who was at death's door and took him in and cared for him. When they thought all was lost with Arnie, he lived up to the famous catchphrase of the movie idol he is named after: "I'll be back." While the family were on vacation in Portugal Arnie turned up outside their home in Couny Cork. They got a call to say a dog that looked like Arnie had been seen by a neighbor hanging outside their house. Family members confirmed it was indeed Arnie, though he was in bad shape and had lost a lot of weight. Arnie was introduced to Lucky and the two of them are getting on famously, though both are competing to prove who is top dog in the house. Share & Bookmark             |
